Ghanaians are fools including me for we still cover this man`s guilt. The guilt he preaches is the same guilt he`s involved. If we have this black mind, how do we expect to develop as a nation? This is impossible. Did he say he collected the money or he didn`t? If he said he collected it, then he has to give it back to the Nigerian government and face the law for being corrupt as he preaches.

Corruption without the Laws is Murder. How many people did Rawlings kill because he thought they were corrupted. Judges. Just because his corruption is from a President should not be call corruption. Where it Rawlings get money to build a house and sent his children to UK backyard for education.
Rawlings has NEVER had a friend in his life. Rawlings and his family are all thieves and Rawlings should answer questions before we hang him dry. CROCODILE tears would not save him or those who are corrupt with him.

How canyou defend Rawlings for accepting thiis cash from Abacha. Are you aware that it was stolen from Nigerian tax payers and handelivered to him in a suitcase? Rawlings executed military officers for simply taking a bank loan and you are defending this crap. You NDC party sycophants bleed more for your party than for Ghana. That is why you don't see the poor state the country is in. What a shame

Kwadwo, are you not aware this illiterate Hardi is a fool? Rawlings lied about why the money was received and this idiot believed it.

According to Rawlings, at that time, Ghana was preparing for a constitutional rule and many people contributed so was Sani Abacha.

We were preparing for constitutional rule in 1991 and 1992 and in January 1993, we had our constitutional President. Abacha gift or bribe to Rawlings was in 1996 so this money could not have been received to help to prepare for constitutional rule.

Secondly, if this money was a legal contribution to help Ghana prepare for a constitutional rule, why did Rawlings and Ndc deny ever receiving this money?

Only idiots and plain fools will defend this. Abacha gave this money, $5 million to Rawlings who was the only Africa leader who defended Abacha after Abacha and Nigeria was thrown out of Commonwealth of nations after Abacha murdered Siro-Wiwa for criticizing him.

These so-called Friends of the Rawlingses are just a bunch of sycophantic enabling idiots. It's unbelievably shameful for them to publish this intimidating trash in an attempt to whitewash the blatant corruption of Rawlings. Their emperor has been stripped bear - totally naked without clothes. Now he's been exposed as a phony moral crusader, utterly corrupt and a first-class thief. Obviously he's scared of retributive justice. No amount of intimidation by the so-called friends would restore to Rawlings any measure of respect and dignity. He deserves in jail.

You don't think there re poor people in Nigeria?
And you sit in Ghana and talk sycophancy and nonsense.
If Rawlings had heard that any former members of the SMC had taken even $1 from a foreign head of state, would he not have charged them with treason for allowing themselves to be used by a foreigner? So you now that after obtaining b Abacha's money Rawlings challenged Nelson Mandela over Abacha's ruthless murder of a "troublesome" writer?
Go on. What is new? Monkey dey work baboon dey chop! Nothing new.

Someone who can sign the death of another being but later found to committe the same sin that he sign for the others is not human.
We must not project this family as bbefore, tbey must come out and clear thier name if really they are clean as they claim.
Who in Ghana , did not sing thier praise, but they have failed us as a nation because of thier greed.

This man executed Col. Roger Feli, Commander Joy Amedume, Air Vice Marshall Yaw Boakye and General Utuka for taking Fifty Thousand Cedi loans (equivalent to GHC5.00 today) from their banks, the excuse being that they used their positions to gain loan approval. How dare this guy take a $5million or even $2million "gift" from anybody? NDC leaders always take "gifts". If it isn't millions of Dollars it is a Ford Expedition. This corrupt party must be voted out immediately.

Garbage of a threat! J. J. is not above criticism. He received the Gift and failed to account for it to the Internal Revenue Service, assuming it was a personal Gift.

And if it was for the State, J. J. did not disclose it as such for the Auditors to add it to our Strained State coffers.

So, where is the paper-trail to account for how such an amount was disbursed? Given the fact that whole Generals in the Army were executed, and lifelong Entrepreneurs like Siaw of Tata Brewery had their assets frozen for a much smaller amounts to do genuine business.

The least Rawlings could have done was to file for taxes on the Gift if it were personal, or give it to the State to augment our tight budget.

So, yes! Failing to do either erodes J. J.'s credibility. He has lost his moral qualification to demonize others for corruption while he had that big moral turd in his butt.

You may be friends of the Rawlingses. But these other folks and the rest of are friends of Ghana, even if we were not Citizens, which we are. The Nation's interests, well-being and dignity comes first before the Rawlingses, like it or not.

Long Live Ghana!!!

Why is Mr Probity and accountability now crying foul when people are trying to question him on how he acquired and spent money given to Ghana? His friends should know that he killed others for doing less so he has to prove himself as above reproach. The accretion that others are trying to stain or set him up is stupid. Nobody asked him to be a revolutionary leader. He has questions to answer and should also tell us how a flight lieutenant managed to educate his children abroad whiles the common man's children were made to wear the same uniform. If he had faith in what he was doing he would have educated his kids in Nima. Why people tolerate such double standards I just don't get it. My view is that there should be an investigation and if found guilty jailed as he did to others.

God sent his only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to open the way for us to have full access to the throne of God's grace (his favor and blessing) and mercy (his pardon for our sins).
Through Jesus' victory on the cross he has freed us from slavery to sin and hurtful desires and addictions, and he has made us sons and daughters of God and citizens of his heavenly kingdom.
We are free now to choose which kingdom we will serve - the kingdom of light and truth ruled by God's justice and wisdom or the kingdom of darkness and falsehood ruled by Satan and a world system or society of people who are opposed to God and his laws.

gone are the days people think like these friends of Rawlings. They belong to the old school who think by treads and insults they can cover what is purely crime. what makes u think that calling Henry a nonentity, such characters, can not win a parliamentary seat and such childish words use on Him will ever be able to cover the money stolen from Nigeria? dear friends of Rawlings, it is common sense to know that there is no prescribe height or sizes or status for a thief. He that call for the rain should not fear to walk in the mud. Rawlings have involved himself in stealing and it will remain so till-thy-kingdom-come so stop wasting your time.

J.J I see so many inconsistencies in your statement. Too many holes. If you did receive $2m or $5m and you failed to inform the nation and what you did with that money it is wrong. As a head of state who preached probity and accountability how could you hide this from the nation. JJ you are now talking because the Nigerians saw this and brought it to light. How many people did you murder, some just for mere $45.000. You had a law for yourself and your family and friends and a different law for the rest of the people of Ghana. Mahama is doing the same thing now. So ask your self, all those killings that you did, do you think it was worth it, compared to the corruption that goes on in the NDC today. I pray the Lord forgives you but we will never forget.
